• ANDRA is the French National Agency for Radioactive Waste

Management, an independent State Agency with a threefold

supervision (Ministries for Industry, Environment and Research)

• Facilities are specific to the different types of ultimate nuclear waste

ANDRA and the HAVL Project 1/5

• The Planning Act 2006 reinforces ANDRA’s mandate concerning all

types of radioactive waste

• This law prescribes relevant investigations and studies with regard to

high-level and intermediate-level long-lived waste: the HAVL Project

•Reversible disposal within a deep geological formation constitutes the

reference solution for HAVL waste, following several stages until 2025

Historical record 1/4

Even though nuclear facilities spread

out all over France :

1980s: searching of laboratory sites

for studying deep geological disposal

on various types of rock faced strong

opposition, leading to a moratorium

and Mission Bataille (1990)

1991 Act on Radioactive Waste

Management Research for high-level

long-lived waste: a 15 years research

period before taken new decisions

Initiates a stepwise process in nuclear waste management• To set up at least two underground laboratories, based upon the selection of

potential candidate sites

• To follow a more democratic process involving elected representatives and local

communities >> according to the concertation imperative

• To introduce external assessment and make ANDRA independent (from CEA and

waste producers) >> State control

• To compensate hosting communities

• To asses results with the view of a draft law on future waste management in 2006

Historical record 3/41994-1996 After selection of candidates: geological survey of a granite

formation (Vienne district) and of two clay formations (the first one in the Gard

district and the other one in the Meuse and Haute-Marne districts)

1998 Choice by the government of the

Meuse/Haute-Marne Site, definition of the

scientific program and pre-selection of

repository concepts covering a large

spectrum of technical solutions to be

compared >> compensatory measures and

retrievability condition

2005 Dossier: conclusion of the basic feasibility of an underground

repository within a Callovo-Oxfordian formation with a reversibility rationale

1999 Abandon of a second site search into granite formations

The 2006 Planning Act 1/2

• “after storage, any ultimate radioactive waste unsuitable for disposal in a

surface or shallow facility (…) shall be disposed of within a deep geological

formation” (2006 Act, Art. 6)

• Though reversible, a deep geological repository must be designed to maintain

the waste “for a potentially definitive purpose” (2006 Act, Art. 5)

• Studies and investigations shall be conducted “with a view to selecting a

suitable site and to designing a repository in such a way that (…) the application

for the authorisation of such repository be reviewed in 2015 and (…) that the

repository be commissioned in 2025” (2006 Act, Art. 3)

• But the host formation of any deep geological repository must have been

previously submitted to studies in an underground laboratory

The 2006 Planning Act 2/2• PNGMDR (National Radioactive Material and Waste Management Plan) every

three years

• CNE (National Review Board) evaluation every year

• CLIS renovated (Local Information and Follow up Committee): among the

functions of the new CLIS (expected by the end of 2007) there is a concertation

mission concerning research on the management of radioactive waste, and

especially on deep geological disposal

• High Committee for Transparency and Information on Nuclear Safety

• Nuclear industry involved in local development

• GIP (Public Interest Group): in charge of the economic development of territories

20 million euros/Département/year; resources are allocated, in priority, to a

proximity area


©

15

The proximity area: a rural, exocentric, territory with few population and 312 small communities. The zone of transposition (200 Km2) has less than 3000 inhabitants

Your mission

• You are in charge of given advice to ANDRA about how to

engage the local population in the processes of:site selection : the proposal of a small zone of interest by 2009

preparation of the Public Debate in 2013

•You are asked to define the frame in which participation

should take place and propose and justify a program:to identify barriers

to characterize features of current framing

to define the issues and objectives of the participatory procedure, etc.
